Broker Verification

Insurance & Financial Responsibility

Locate official public filing information and distinguish insurance from broker BMC-84 or BMC-85 financial security.

Review the correct type of filing.

A broker’s financial-responsibility filing is different from carrier insurance. BMC-84 identifies a surety bond; BMC-85 identifies a trust agreement.

Why this matters

Confusing authority, liability insurance, cargo insurance and broker security can lead to incorrect conclusions.
